Sam dams with faint praise

Forbes article on Sabre/Travelocity with an interview of CEO Sam Gillard. In response to a question about whether or not Sam and his family found a good deal on Travelocity for their vacation he says

"I think I got a good deal relative to what I could have gotten anywhere else"

What happened to CEOs screaming the benefits of their products from the rafters? I can see the new Travelocity marketing campaign now - cut to a gnome sitting on a milk crate saying "Sure we're not perfect, but heck, who is"
